TerraUSD (UST), is a type of cryptocurrency known as a "stablecoin." According to its issuer, it used an algorithm to peg its value to the U.S. dollar and maintain stability.

​

In May 9, 2022, UST lost its peg to the U.S. dollar. Over the next several days, it plummeted in value, falling from its supposed peg of $1.00 to less than $0.10 and never recovering.

​

Cryptocurrency is often thought of as an unregulated investment instrument, not subject to the rules that regulate transactions in stocks or commodities. In reality, cryptocurrency issuers and exchanges must comply with many of the same laws as other types of investments.
